Dunstable Town Railway Station (line disused), Beds (Dunstable)


Dunstable Town railway station (originally Dunstable Church Street) was a terminus station on a spur off the Great Northern Railway between Leighton Buzzard and Hatfield. It served the town of Dunstable until closure in 1965 under the Beeching axe. Dunstable is now one of the largest towns in south-east England without a railway connection [1]. The station was immortalised in 1964 in the song "Slow Train" by Flanders and Swann. The station was on Station Road, Dunstable

There was also a nearby station at Dunstable North on the same line.
